Featured actors include Kate Magruder, Paula Samonte, Ellen Weed, Randy Moore and Ron Cole, who represent UPT’s early years. Susan Husted-Stuart will perform a monologue from 1978- the earliest piece of the evening, which was originally performed prior to the construction of the building. Mike Gutierrez, Amanda Baguley, Charlie Selzer and Erika Brewer will perform roles from more recent performances. The theatre’s  hallway will display a photo and newspaper retrospective of the building, and videos of UPT’s dinner theaters will be available to view.

You’ve heard of a Live Art Auction, but what is a Living Art Auction?
Facilitated by Auctioneer Tom Allman, with bidding paddles in hand, patrons bid on a piece of art… which then comes to life!

What do you get for your money?
A one-of-a-kind performance and a chance to sponsor upgrades for the Playhouse.
In honor of the building’s 40th birthday, performers throughout the ages will be returning to the stage in a retrospective.
